Thank you for the solution to this problem. When I tried \cadenzaOn
etc. before, I clearly did not get things quite right. The example
shown at NR-1.2.3 does not give details of what to do for instruments
in a score which are not involved in the cadenza, and clearly I did not
work out the correct answer.
This time it still took me half an hour to work out why it didn't seem
to work, until I realized that (of course) I needed to specifically
state the length of the dotted minims following the lengthened one.
